Mr.. Nfannfug's Health.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Mr Manton Marble,
who has been a guest of Secretary Manning
for several DAYS, returned to New York last
evening. Just before leaving be said with
reference to certain published reports con-
cerning Mr.. Manning's condition: Il per-
ceive absolutely no impairment OF his mental
faculties: and us 10 his physical con-
dition. " hile, of course, he cannot work as
many hours a day as be did last year, TO nv
personal knowledge bis progress toward
sound health has been continuous and unin-
terrupted since last summer, ami has been
more rapid since his return to the treasury
department last October. although his Office
is by far the most exacting and laboriOus in
the federal government The stories that he
is unable To sign his own name are entirely
unfOunded. He signs his name 10 warrants,
checks. appointment papers and letters scores
of times daily, and, as a matter OF fact his
daily work now would Overwhelm many
Younger men. One of the last letters written
by Governor Tilden, which | received in
Europe later than the news of his death, in
formed me that he should advise Mr.. Man
ming, who was then visiting Greystone. TO re-
sign as soon as he had finished his statement
of the federal finances and a plan necessary
for taxation and reform. Its execution could
be left to the president and congress. His
own first duty would then be to re-estsblish
his health. / do not doubt that the president
has reluctantly yielded to the same con-
clusion.n

The MUcn Through the Lick
Telescope

Among other large and noble bene-
factions. James Lick, the California
millionaire, a few years ago, devoted
a generous sum OF money to the erec-
ton OF a gigantic telescope.
This telescope, which will soon be
placed in the observatory on the
summit OF Mount Hamilton, near San
Francisco, is the largest instrument or
its kind which has ever been construct
ed on the earth, and, if successfully
completed, will undoubtedly reveal to
the eye Tor the first time many q Sc
cret OF the sky.
When at last the Lick telescope ls
set up on Mount Hamilton, and is
turned toward the heavens, it will be a
new and striking era in the history or
astronomy. What will be seen
through the huge lens may, perhaps, be
best Judged by the revelation 1t will
give OF the moon. The moon Is two
hundred and forty thousand miles
from the earth. The Lick telescope
will bring it, in vision, to within one
hundred miles.
That is, whatever we can now dis
cover with the naked eye, in a very
dry ana clear atmosphere, hundred
miles away, will be descrled on the
moon through the mammoth telescope.
1t will not be possible, to be sure,
TO perceive livinL things moving on the
sur ace OF the moon ii such living things
exist there. But, if the moon is act
ually inhabited. and if the people
there by any chance traverse the peak
and craters in large bodies,-by such
means, for instance, as great ships or
| conveyance e,-such movements may
possibly be discerned through the
Lick lens.
Many questions otherwise concern
ing the planetary system will undoubt-
edly be solved by the far greater
nearness which the Lick telescope
will bring to us the heavenly orbs-

4 Conscientious Surgeon.

A remarkable suicide has recently
been committed in st. Petersburg. A
short time ago woman, aged %,
came to consult DR.. Botkine, who
found that she was suffering from q
tuOerculous ulcer. An operation be-
ing deemed necessary, DR.. Botkine sent
her to VI. KolomInne, a surgeon OF con-
siderable repute. He administered to
her slight dose OF saline acid OF CO.
caine, and, finding this did not take
effect, he increased the dose and per-
formed the operation with complete
success, but few hours afUerward
he received a message to say
that his patient seemed to be
dying, and he found, upon
hurrying to her, that, Judging by the
feebleness of the pulse and blush ap-
pearance OF the face, she was suffering
from the effects of poison. All the Ell
forts made to save her were DINO effect,
and she died the same evening. Nj.
kolominne was so overcome that he
denounced himself as her murderer,
though all his colleagues assured him
that he was in no way to blame. But
he would not listen to them. and a few
days afterward he blew his brains out,
leaving note in which he said: al must
have been the victim OF some tempo
rary alteration. and, this has caused
the catastrophe which drives me to
despair. am not gnilty, for my in
tentions were good, but Icannot live"
